What is a blog

A blog is basically your personal information page.

You can use a blog for fun or for business. A blog is a great way to create backlinks and get your webpage on the first page of the search engines.

Creating enough keyword specific hyperlinks in your blogs (don't over hyperlink, write more blogs) and pointing these hyperlinks to your websites will get you on page one of the major search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing.

Try not to put too many hyperlinks in your free blogs. Once you get better at blogs you may want to create a blog in your cpanel through a webhosting site.

My name is George Dirlam and I am going to teach you how to blog and if you are better than me at blogging, I will learn a few things from you.

Contact me if you need more help and you can watch me show you how to blog through my teach online conference room.

If you are a teacher, use the free 3 person conference rooms as often as you like to teach online. If you need a quick tutorial on how to use these rooms, no problem, just contact me.

The 3 person rooms are free to use everyday for entrepreneurs, teachers and anyone else who needs a teach online classroom.

Here is a blog I just did tonight on the keyword - affiliate marketing. Try and make your blogs keyword specific.

Use the Google keyword tool to find what people are searching for on the search engines.

I like to make sure the "Exact" box is checked when doing keyword searches using the Google keyword tool.

Have fun blogging and remember you will get better after doing a few blogs.

This "what is a blog" Google blog brought to you by George Dirlam.

How to make money blogging

This Google blogspot "how to start a blog" will focus on the keywords affiliate marketing, how to start a blog and TriVita, a health and wellness company. If you are new to blogging, use this blog as an example on how to promote your blog.

I will make the paragraphs short so it's easy to read this blog. If you make long paragraphs the blog or website becomes much more difficult to read, I recommend you do the same.

This Google blog will point to my affiliate marketing sites through hyperlinks which in turn will create backlinks.

The more backlinks pointing to your websites, blogs and other Internet assets the better the chances of being on page 1 of Yahoo, Google and Bing...the major search engines.

You will notice a hyperlink in the first paragraph. That hyperlink will create a backlink to my website about the keyword - affiliate marketing.

What is affiliate marketing
Many companies will pay you to get customers for them, many of these affiliate programs are free to join and some have a small fee and some require a small monthly autoship. some may require larger start up fees and even larger monthly autoship requirements.

When a customer buys products through an affiliate company and they buy through you customer id# or affiliate link, you will get a commission. Most of these affiliates pay only on the first sale, like many web hosting affiliates.

TriVita, a health and wellness company will pay affiliates seven levels deep on reorders. Another thing I like with TriVita is that they will take care of your customers.

Getting new customers should be your focus, so if you can get commissions on reorders, that is extra money!

Some companies will also pay on the reorders. Getting paid on reorders can add up to a lot of extra commissions. If you are looking for ways to make money, affiliate programs can supplement you income.

Autoship Update: 2-6-11
TriVita no longer requires an autoship of Nopalea to receive compensation. I just learned this as I am writing this blog. To get compensated from TriVita for your comissions, a $40.00 monthly volume order is still required, just not on an autoship order.

Autoship Requirements Have Been Removed You are no longer required to have an autoship order to qualify for compensation. However, you may still choose to have an autoship order for the added convenience.

I am trying to teach you how to blog and how to focus on keywords through your blog in your blogs and websites. Notice the links going to my affiliate sites and other websites.

Whatever you are going to blog about, always try and point the links to "your" websites or affiliate sites. That way when someone reading your blog decides to leave through a link, they will be leaving to another one of your websites, blogs or articles. Always try and point to yourself when blogging, there are some exceptions of course.

Content
Try not to copy and past, write good content and provide the reader with information. If you do copy an article, put the article you copied in italics and give credit where credit is due.

How to start a blog - by George Dirlam

Turn your blog into an extra income!

Hello, my name is George Dirlam and I will personally teach you how to start a blog.

I use my blogs to promote my affiliate marketing business on the Internet (SEO) and to create backlinks to my websites. A blog should provide the reader with information or how to.

I will personally teach you how to create a blog, use proper keywords and how to create backlinks to your blogs to get on page one of the search engines.

If you have some type of affiliate business or home based business, a blog is a great way to get customers and affiliate members. I am not a guru or some type of bogging expert, but if you do a Google search for the keyword - TriVita, you will see I am on page 1.

I did this will the help of my blogs and other sites on the major search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing.

With a blog and website, people will be calling you and not the other way around. If you just want to start a blog for fun, no problem, use these instructions and you will also learn how to blog.

Start with the keyword tool
Don't guess what people are searching for on the Internet, use the google keyword tool.
This tool will show you how many searches a month a word or phrase gets on Google. Underneath the "Find Keywords", you will see a box with the words - "Word or phrase (one per line)".

Type in a word and hit search, then on the left side of the site you will see some small boxes, check the box that says "Exact" and leave the other boxes blank.

Type in the word - How to start a blog
I then click the words "Local monthly searches", so it shows me the highest searches at the top. The higher the searches the better the keyword, but take into consideration the competetion...see the green rectangular box on the left with the different levels of green, some boxes have more green than other boxes, depending on the competetion.

Remember that these searches are using the Google keyword tool and the number of searches are probably less for Bing and Yahoo. I personally like both of the "Bing" and "Yahoo" search engines also and always try to get on page one of those search engines too.

Teach online
It will be faster for me to teach you how to blog in my teach online classroom.
